Recipe(tried): Red Pepper Chicken

This is my own recipe for a RED PEPPER CHICKEN that I have eaten at a local Chinese place. This will feed about 8 people, and can be adjusted accordingly. This dish is pretty spicy, the cayenne can be adjusted to personal taste.

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 medium onion
1 red bell pepper (optional)
vegetable oil
3 cups flour
3 cups yellow corn meal
4 tbsp ground cayenne pepper
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp finely ground black pepper
3 eggs
1 cup milk
sesame oil (optional)

Have the butcher slice the chicken in 1/4 inch thick slices, against the grain. Thinly slice the onion and bell pepper; set aside.

Put enough vegetable oil in a pan to cover 3-4 slices of chicken for frying and put on medium heat until very hot.

Sift together all the dry ingredients, and put aside.

Beat eggs and milk together in a separate bowl.

Place the thinly sliced chicken in the milk/egg mixture, then dredge in the dry ingredients. Carefully drop them into the hot oil (no more than 3-4 slices at one time). Cook until deep golden brown and drain on paper towel.

Once all the chicken is fried, add some of the frying oil to another pan and saute the onions/red pepper slices, add finished chicken together until the onions/peppers are cooked through.

Put onion/chicken mixture into a bowl with a lid, add several drops of sesame oil to taste, snap on the lid and toss together to disperse sesame oil. The cooking/prep time is about 40 minutes, but well worth it. Enjoy!
